The BMW M2 CS
(F87) is a rear-wheel-drive compact M coupe powered by the S55 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged inline-six producing 331 kW / 450 hp and 550 Nm.
The BMW M2 CS (F87) is the sharpened final movement of the first-generation M2. It takes the already serious M2 Competition, gives it more power, carbon-fibre body elements, adaptive suspension, Cup tyres, and a choice that now feels precious: six-speed manual or seven-speed M DCT. BMW positioned the M2 CS above the M2 Competition as the first exclusive limited-run BMW M special-edition model in the premium compact class. The factory specification lists 331 kW / 450 hp, 550 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 4.0 seconds with M DCT or 4.2 seconds with the manual, and a 280 km/h top speed with the standard M Driver’s Package.
The F87 M2 CS matters because it captures BMW M at a rare point of balance. It is small by modern M standards, rear-wheel drive, available with a manual gearbox, powered by a real M engine, and still usable enough to drive across town without theatre. It is not a homologation car in the old sense, but it has a motorsport shadow. BMW described it as the basis for the M2 CS Racing, the company’s entry point into amateur racing and the Clubsport segment from 2020. For Engine Sphere, the M2 CS is not merely a faster M2. It is the compact BMW M formula brought to a very high polish: straight-six, rear drive, short wheelbase, carbon details, manual availability, and the quiet knowledge that this kind of M car is becoming harder to build.
